Vincent Kompany had a message for Mohamed Salah after his reckless foul on the Egyptian.

The Manchester City skipper took down the Liverpool forward in the first half of their Premier League clash on Thursday night.

Kompany was fortunate not to be sent off for his rash lunge, and he had a message for Salah while he was on the floor.

The Belgian defender muttered something in Salah’s direction as he walked away.

And eagle-eyed football fans on Twitter think they know what the City captain said.

One social media post read: “Kompany calling Salah a p***y captain leader legend!”

Speaking during half time, former Premier League winner Alan Shearer couldn’t quite believe how the Belgian had avoided a red card.

“If that is not out of control and endangering the opponent then I don’t know what is,” said Shearer.

“If salah doesn’t jump out of the way then his leg is broken.

“It’s high, both feet off the floor - that should be a red card!”

Lucky not to see red there @VincentKompany

Only thing that prevents Kompany from getting a straight red is Salah jumping out the way. Heâ€™s incredibly fortunate to be on the pitch. Horrendous challenge.
